‘Quack doctor’ James Mugo alias Mugo wa Wairimu and his two employees have been charged afresh before a Nairobi court.
Mugo and his co-accused Victor Gathiru , alias Doctor Victor, and Risper Ouma appeared before Milimani senior principal magistrate Martha Mutuku on Tuesday.
They pleaded not guilty to the charges after the court allowed the prosecution request to consolidated the cases.

Prosecution alleges that on November 3, 2018, the three operated the Millan Health International Limited in Kayole, Nairobi county without a license.
Gathiru and Ouma were further charged with carrying out the business of a pharmacist in a premise not registered by the board.
